DId y’all see this recipe for TennTucky Blackberry Cobbler in the July 2012 issue of Southern Living?
Did you try it? I did. Wanna know how it was? Phenomenal!
I made the cobbler and dressed it up just like in the photo…{courtesy of Southern Living Magazine}
layering it with vanilla ice cream and Butterscotch-Bourbon Sauce. It was DE-LISH!
When I saw this recipe in the July issue of Southern LIving, I knew I had to try it! My boys LOVE to eat fresh blackberries so I had a bunch in the fridge. {It wasn’t quite 6 cups though, so I added some frozen mixed berries I had in the freezer.}
Start by mixing 3 Tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl.
Add 6 cups berries to the cornstarch mixture
and toss to coat.
Spoon into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
Beat 1/2 cup softened butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, beating well.
Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Set aside.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder in a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together 8 oz. sour cream and 1/2 tsp. baking soda.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Your batter will be thick, kind of like cookie dough.
Spoon batter over berry mixture.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. If necessary, shield loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, and bake 20 or until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake topping comes out clean.
For the sauce: Cook 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, 3 to 4 minutes or until butter melts and mixture is smooth.
Gradually stir in 3/4 cup whipping cream. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Boil and continue to stir constantly for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 3 Tbsp. bourbon.
Now to assemble the dessert.
Layer cobbler, vanilla ice cream and Butterscotch-Bourbon Sauce.
Repeat layers.
Alright, Southern LIving’s picture is much better than mine. But mine tasted just as good!
You gotta go try this one!
